Managed Futures Facts

Managed futures are investments run by professional money managers, who use futures contracts, commodity options, and swaps to actively trade commodity interests. Managed futures strategies serve as diversification tools and are sought by investors as a valuable component of a broader investment portfolio, because, generally, managed futures strategies have exhibited very low correlation to traditional investments. Individual investors, pension funds, foundations, and university endowments have about $337 billion invested in managed futures.
